K'taka orders safety audit of state transport buses after Kurnool accident
The Karnataka government has launched a comprehensive safety audit of all the state transport buses. An official said that depot-level teams have already begun inspecting buses, with particular focus on emergency exits, fire extinguishers, first-aid kits, and other safety equipment. This comes after a Bengaluru-bound bus caught fire in Andhra Pradesh's Kurnool, killing 20 people.
